WE ARE THE TEMPLE

-

Psalms 122:1

I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD."


David loved to go to the temple, He was a worshipper. He knew it was the house of God. His greatest desire was to build the house of the Lord. He proved that He was after God's heart.


Jesus showed from a child that He did not disregard being in the temple.


Luke 2:46

Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.


We have a greater privilege today for we worship without the veil.


Not the building but we the believers are the temple, we come together to display His glory.


We are people redeemed and empowered to be sons.


* We hear and teach the word


* We worship . . . sing hymns and making melody to the Lord.


* We pray


Psalms 147:1

Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.


So I begin by building my own temple and everyone does, when we come together we can say it is the gathering of the body of Christ. Glory to God.


So I build myself as a temple, I build my family and household as a temple. I then build the church as a temple and finally we reflect God to the whole world that many would see the light and come to Him.


May my service not replace the privilege to worship.


May joy flow in and from our hearts one to another.


May envy, wrath and bitterness have no place. (one could be there and really not worship!)


May God be glorified when we gather.


Don't be left out.


PRAYER

Loving Father, make me and other believers all over the world clean temple for you. Bring us together as Your body, holy and separated for You. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same
